History

The roadway that would eventually become SR 231 was established in 1940 as SR 24 Spur along a short alignment from Downtown Davisboro to the intersection with SR 24 in the northern part of the city.[3][4] In 1943, SR 24 Spur was redesignated as SR 231, and was extended to its current southern terminus.[5][6] In 1944, the original section of the road was paved.[6][7] In 1951, a short section southwest of Harrison was paved.[8][9] By September 1953, the entire section from the southern terminus to Harrison was paved.[9][10] The next year, a very brief section just northeast of Harrison was paved.[10][11] By 1957, the entire section from Riddleville to SR 24 was paved,[12][13] and by 1960, the road was paved from its southern terminus to SR 24.[13][14] On the 1966 GDOT road map, the roadway that would eventually become the northern part of SR 231 from Davisboro to its northern terminus was displayed as a "connecting road".[15][16] By 1991, this roadway was paved and designated as the northern extension of SR 231.[17][18]
